    I’m waiting to find out that an FBI informant put him onto it like pretty much every ‘foiled terrorist plot’ in the last 2 decades.

    Edit:

    After the two advertised the sale of personal property on Facebook last month, the FBI enlisted an informant to respond to the offer and strike up a relationship. The informant later invited them to a gun range, where they ordered weapons from an undercover FBI official.

    Yeah, definitely don’t look too hard into the role of that ‘informant’.

      Dats the way it works. The FBI loves their stings.

          From another source I read that they were ISIS and had constructed a plan and had admitted to it. They got caught. Sorry if you’re sad.

                Thanks for digging that up. The details in this article are a “refreshing” change from most of what we see when the FBI arrest a terror plot suspect. “Our agents befriended a quiet loner. They then cajoled, pushed, and prodded this reluctant teenager into making a bomb for them. QED, BITCHES!”

                Now I’m just waiting for Conservative d-bags (such as my parents) to start screaming about how we need to shut down the legal immigration too. The real kicker: they’re both immigrants.

                  Well, you can see details if you look for better news sources.

                  When you use words like conjoled, it’s obvious you have a preferred narrative. But, the fact of the matter is that the FBI is working a legal case. They aren’t persuading somebody to buy long guns. They’re just making it easy and possible. Criminals are dumb shits and go along with it.

                  As to your parents, I can’t comment. But, I am surprised Trump hasn’t used this story yet.
